[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandomegabosses:
Somebody else pointed this out earlier, but I'm gonna bring it up again. We're lucky to even have support for 2.1 on D/S. It's not meant for our devices and, yah, there are going to be some bugs, considering it was meant for a different devices. The same goes (pretty much) double for 2.2. When I got my Dream, I didn't imagine we would/could get past 1.6. I was freaking out when I got Eclair for the first time. Now we're on Froyo, same version as the N1, and (for me, at least) it's running better than Donut ever was for me.

While I do agree that we don't have many completely stable roms nowadays, I'm also grateful that we have developers like Cyanogen who still care about the lower income (I say that because I justt don't have the funds to purchase a higher end Android phone as of right now, and I suspect that may be the reason many other people have invested in one either) public enough to keep putting out solid, functional roms.

Count your blessings.

Here's my top choices of roms that ive found to be extremely fast

and stable as heck.

Donut Roms: 1st choice - Htcclay's superbad/superfast

2nd choice - SuperD.

Eclair Roms: 3rd choice - Chromatic 3.9.1

(Extremely fast and stable for a eclair rom but is nothing compared to those Donut roms.)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StreetGuru:
Hey paaaaan!

I totally understand where you coming from, I (and probably many users here) have exactly the same problem. When i got my MT3G and first rooted it (more than a year and a half now) i was trying out a different ROM everyday, just polaying around and having fun. Cyan's ROM's never really worked out for me and i think i got a bit traumatised about it (although i recognize the invaluable contribution he's been to the Android community - it just couldn't possible be the same scene without him and Google should, if it hasn't already, recognize this fact. But after some time i started wanting to have a stable rom, just something that wouldn't hang out on me or lagged all the time - this was quite some time ago, mind you, the Hero sense ROMs were coming out for the first time and 1.6 had just been released. after many tries i stuck with Dwang's Donut build (no longer developed) which at the time was the fastest and most stable ROM i found. I stuck in my head that none of the latest versions of Android would run as smooth in my phone so i stayed with Dwang's (flashing it every month or so) until very recently actually.

I don't really remember why but i decided to give a go to the newest ROM's after reading so much praise for them in here... and i must confess i was really taken back by how far the development had come and what i had missed. I've tried Cannon202 Complete Eclair 2.2, Clay's SuperBad 1.6 & 1.7 and now on Chromatic 3.9.1 and i must say they all are stable enough for everyday use, according to my standards. Now, you must note that many times what makes the ROM unstable is not the ROM itself but how you flash it and how you fill it. I ALWAYS wipe completely before flashing a ROM - and don't just do a complete wipe in recovery but actually use fastboot to wipe the system as well. Another thing you must note is the amount of apps you throw at it, and how fast i do it. If i install or recover all my apps after install no ROM holds stable... instead i go installing them little by little, as i need them... i found out that with the exact same ROM this makes a HUGE difference! Also, after you flash, wait for it to settle down before you start configuring it... i normally also do one or two reboots before i start tweaking anything or installing apps. Compcache and swap never really worked for me so i don't use it (though i do have the SD partioned for that). SetCPU and the right configuration on the settings of the phone (try Chrome's post-boot set-up on his Cromatic thread) make a huge difference.

I must confess i really like Clay's SUPERBAD ROM (1.6 actually works better for me then 1.7) but it seems it has been discontinued, unfortunately; and i still haven't tried any Froyo build (waiting for it to mature, let some problems be solved.... nothing really in it that i can't live without); but i consider all Eclair ROM's i've tried based of Cyan's 5.0.8 perfect for everyday use. I mean, they are faster than the stock Vodafone ROM it came with the phone. Of course, you will have problems after a while and need to rewipe and reflash but that is exactly why you rooted your phone right?

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mymailx:
I watched that someone in youtube has upgraded his X1 ROM to XPERIA X2 ROM.

Has someone here do the same thing?

Please let me know which one X2 ROM is available to be ported to X1.

p.s: plz do not recommend me with customized or pure WM6.5.x, I am not interested. Thank you.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokatho:
Well, your question is a bit contradictional. If you want a X2 ROM on your X1 you'll have to flash a customized wm6.5 ROM.

Because you can't directly flash a X2 ROM to X1 without porting it to X1.

Look for the X2 port from jerpelea.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mymailx:
Well I see,

I mean that I want an original X2 ROM (without any 3rd party application addition customized by any chef) that trully like original X2 ROM (MR2 Hopefully).

But it seems impossible?

I've tried 2 ROMs from Energy but it looks like HTC Phone too much

I've tried 7 ROMs from x869 but it is not customized like HTC more

I've tried 2 Barebone ROMs from Gtrab, I also don't feel X2 things inside
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fraztto:
I think jerplea x2 rom is the most accurate for your needs. I've tried it and it is really nice. it doesn't have any htc stuff. the only downside is jerplea stopped the dev because of his broken x1. you should give it a try

Thank you for replies.
[General Topics] art0rs:
Over at Desire development we had a great idea. The idea is to organize ROMs for all phones on a website. Chefs can post their ROM's features, different versions, etc. The website will allow users to compare different roms using a sophisticated comparison tool. Much like this: h t t p://clips.srious.biz/WindowClippings_bd156b9be2ef4749a0bac8ca541cb0ee.png

Currently, it's really hard to find a decent ROM. There is no place where you can find different ROMs and compare their features.

I am wondering if there is any incentive for chefs to maintain their ROMs on such a website.

As new ROMs are released every day, and there are so many phones, it is really hard to keep track of for staff of such a website.

I will build this website myself if there are enough people to support this idea.
[General Topics] lufc:
I know NRGZ28 cooks a lot of Roms for a lot of Devices and i do not think he would have time to be posting anywhere else, Plus i do not think its right to compare Roms to each other, last thing a cook wants to see is his hard work being being compared and told its not as good as X its up to each individual to see what they like the best as the same ROM can run differently on the same two devices depending on where they live how old is the battery what they are running, just my 2p worth :)
[General Topics] art0rs:
How do you pick your ROMs? Randomly? Isn't that what you do with any other piece of software? Pick the best? If they do not want their roms to be compared to others, there is no reason to post them.

I bought mine Galaxy yesterday, and now i found a serious problem!

I have 8gb (SanDISK) memory card and when i connect the USB cable (the original one) to the phone and give "mount" on the screen nothing appears on the PC (the PC is with WinXP)...the mass storage is missing!

On the phone itself all seems OK, i can enter in the SDCard, see and install apk., etc..

I will appreciate some help! Thanks!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kliamy:
Hi Guys,

I think I have done something I shouldn't have. I have messed up my phone.

I tried to root my HTC Desire, but it boots into a black screen with htc in the center and a triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle. - I tried booting normally - (power on) and into boot mode (volume down and power on)

I am also not sure that the SD card is correctly turned into a Goldcard, and now I have no way to make a goldcard.

What have I tried ?

1. 'adb devices' does not see the phone.

2. 'fastboot devices' sees the phone and returns with the serial number.

3. Fastboot :

C:\android\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

sending 'recovery' (1832 KB)... OKAY [ 0.276s]

writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...

FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)

finished. total time: 0.482s

C:\android\tools>fastboot flash boot boot.img

sending 'boot' (1602 KB)... OKAY [ 0.243s]

writing 'boot'... INFOsignature checking...

FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)

finished. total time: 0.424s

OK - so I really messed this up - lets try to recover:

4. Downloaded RUU

RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe

---- It sees the phone, and requests to update the ROM from image 1.21.405.2 to image 1.21.405.2 - click next and it tries to send the image to the phone up to a point - vibrates 7 times - loads up 39% and then hangs.

OK - so on the RUU screen it says in red that I should not remove the usb cable - the devices is not working so what can go wrong ? deep breath - "ba... of steel?" - yes - remove the usb cable

RUU returns with ERROR[155]: UNKNOWN ERROR - and a recover button

Click recover - yes my android screen shows exclamation marks in four corners - it means the update has failed - follow the steps and it returns with "Error recovery is successful. The update process is ready to resume."

So we try again - run the RUU tool - oh no - same result as above - yep my initial statement is still factual - I have messed up.

Can anyone help ?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbdags:
When you get theblack screen with htc in the center and a triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle, you need to hold volume up and push power. This will take you into the recovery menu. My advice is put the fake flash update.zip on the root of your sd card and then flash it from this menu to get into proper recovery.

Hi Guys,

Thank you for your assistance - it is helping !

I have the same problem as described by another thread ("Killed my Desire") in which a gentleman by the name Ronaldo mentioned that he eventually got it working by using tiny Linux, however "after many tries"

I did try to download an RUU tool, but it fails with an error. (ERROR 155)

I could not find the official operators RUU as it was an unlocked phone - bought online - so I am not sure from which operator is it coming.

One question - it was working on all operator networks - therefore I assume it was unlocked but not rooted ? does this mean I do not need a goldcard ?

i know this is probably the wrong thread to post this, but im desperate to save my phone, i have a sprint HTC touch pro 2. i hard spl'd it and installed the newest version of energy rom cookie, and now my phone cant get past the HTC bootscreeen. anything i can do? :/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Yes, you can boot into the bootloader (hold volume down and power when the device is off) and flash the EnergyROM made for CDMA devices such as your Sprint TP2, instead of the one of GSM devices, as I assume you flashed by mistake. After that, everything should work just fine
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] GaryMcQ:
First, step back and don't panic. Where did you get the Energy ROM? Here at XDA? Sprint is a CDMA carrier, and Energy in THIS forum is GSM. If you want an Energy ROM for your Sprint Phone, go to the link below and download it. In the meantime, I would go ahead and download Task 29 for CDMA and run it prior to flashing the CDMA Energy ROM. Do you know what task 29 is? Was this your first attempt at flashing a custom ROM? Sorry for all the questions, but I need more information from you to be able to help efficiently. However, I don't think you have bricked your phone for good.

And just remember, for all future CDMA Custom ROMs, stay in the PPC Geeks forum. There are MANY really good ROMs for your phone there.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] th4t1guy:
ok yea that worked, now its showing up as connected by USB. Thanks!

about task 29, i jus looked it up. and yea, i was careless and flashed the GSM rom by mistake :P im glad i could revive my phone, i jus don have the money right now to replace it and im new to these things so understandably i got worried haha thanks for the great help guys :) how do i use the task 29 exe tho? can you walk me through the process?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] GaryMcQ:
While plugged into USB, just double click on the Task 29.exe file, and it will run the process as if you are flashing a new ROM. After it is done, it will soft reset your phone, and stop. If you have never done it before you may think you have bricked again. That's because there is now NO operating system on your phone for it to boot into. After it gets to this point, pull the battery out, and while holding down the Volume down button, reinsert the battery. When the multi-colored screen comes up release the Volume down button and watch until USB comes up at the bottom of the screen. At this point, just flash your new ROM as you usually would. This should clean out all remnants of any previous bad flash. Glad you got your phone back!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] th4t1guy:
it gets to the progress bar, then quits saying that the utility could not be used on my device, what do i do?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] GaryMcQ:
For some reason, it seems that many of the guys who have been on these forums for quite a while forget that THEY TOO were a noob once. You'll be helping others out before you know it. I'll see you over at PPC Geeks. That is where I stay most of the time.

My TP2 is a CDMA, my wife's is an ATT Tilt2, so I try to keep up in both forums.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] GaryMcQ:
Assuming that you downloaded your Task29 utility at PPC Geeks, and it's for CDMA I'll have to think about that one for a minute. Are you connecting

successfully

to ActiveSync via USB? IF not, I would try rebooting the computer. If you ARE connected to ActiveSync, Any time I have had this fail, it has been an ActiveSync issue, but can't remember if it was telling me that it can't be used on my device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tommrazek01:
It happened to me twice. Once when I tried to flash a HD2 ROM and once when I tried to flash a CDMA rom to my GSM Rhodium. Maybe our friend th4t1guy has a GSM Rhodium? This message saved my phone 2x. Otherwise, it could just be a bug.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sajseven:
Ahh okay I see! :o No, Google don't provide ROMs for any device except their own Nexus One. HTC provide ROMs for the Hero, and every official HTC Hero ROM has Sense UI on it.

So your best bet is to go with one of the ones provided here. The only things that make them differ from the standard ones are some of the additional feature support as well as the support for the Hero handset.
